Chiikawa, the adorable creation of illustrator Nagano, has taken the world by storm since its debut in 2020. With its unique charm, the series quickly captivated audiences, especially after its TV anime adaptation, becoming a beloved sensation everywhere.
Last month, Nagano dropped a manga sharing their secret "hidden way to enjoy Ichiran Ramen," which instantly went viral. Now, they're back with a new comic, detailing their ultimate Ichiran ordering strategy and their absolute top recommendations. The internet, of course, went wild!
According to Nagano's manga, here's the winning combo:
Flavor Strength - Basic
Richness - Basic
Garlic - 1 Clove
Scallions - White Scallions
Sliced Pork - Yes
Original Red Sauce - Basic
Noodle Hardness - Super Hard
The manga emphasizes that keeping the flavor strength and richness at "Basic" allows you to savor Ichiran's authentic taste. Pair that with one clove of garlic and super-hard noodles, and you've got a masterpiece!
The elder character in this latest comic is also seen quietly adopting the "wood ear mushroom as a second bowl" trick from the previous installment, enjoying the wood ear as a satisfying "second helping" without needing to order extra noodles.
Many fans who tried the previous "wood ear mushroom as a second bowl" hack also gave it a big thumbs up.
After seeing Nagano's "Ichiran Ramen God-Tier Order," countless netizens are now craving Ichiran. With two consecutive manga features on the ramen chain, fans are buzzing about a potential collaboration. Many are exclaiming that this is some serious ramen evangelism, and it would be a missed opportunity not to partner up!
While Nagano's ordering style might not be entirely new, their massive popularity and influence mean you might just want to give their recommended setup and the "wood ear mushroom as a second bowl" trick a try!
